The Pearls You Clutch

One of the newer bands that tops my list anytime they release a record is Bent Blue. That band just delivers every time, so when I saw that Indecision Records was releasing the bands newest album, you know that I jumped to get my order in.

Dude, this record. Damn. Bent Blue have always played around with that Revolution Summer hardcore sound, and they continue to do that here, but for some reason So Much Seething feels like a more urgent and angry record. I mean, when The Pearls You Clutch kicks in, I just want to rage... dancing and taking down everyone that has the misfortune of being in the kitchen while I'm preparing dinner and listening to this record. That's right, I own the dance floor in this house. This record is so good, and I'm glad that Bent Blue still keep that spark going a few records in.

I don't tend to buy multiple copies of records these days, but when I was in the Indecision store and saw that they only had two colored vinyl options available with the release of So Much Seething, it confused me to see a label being reasonable... and I bought both of them. I don't know what came over me, but it was nice to not see 5 or 6 different options and I was like "oh two? yeah, I can collect two." 150 pressed on purple and 350 pressed on green.
